So in my constant search for a more dynamic self promotional DVD I have decided to add an "Other Interests" video to compliment it in a more personal way. My intentions were valid, I figured I wanted people who saw my reel and my videos to also get to know the man behind the camera. But when I started editing it, it sort of turned into this embarrassing comic train wreck. but oh well I can't deny it, so it stays, and honestly I think it ads a really fresh dimension to the term "self promotion",

Back from the East Coast. got to hop in the water only to quickly retreat to skimboarding. I couldn't believe how quickly the surf broke me. Water was cold waves were big enough and I am a wimp. Got some fun pics though.
















Got some cute pics of Trev and Beckys new boy Shepard.









I shot some long exposures in the back yard got some interesting eerie results.







I love shooting in airports. Laid over in chicago this area totally reminded me of Blade Runner amazing how prophetic that film was. I love finding the cubist moments between the glass. You can tell the cubists weren't really exagerating forms as much as they were just seeing what was allready there. Tightly compressed layers of culture converging in the new industrialized urban centers. Cubism is everywhere.
















This is the closest I've ever got to a "Stock photo"

Last Year my sister and I went to Coney Island to take pictures and film. At the time I had just gotten my new camera and I didn't know how to shoot with it too well. Coney Island announces that it's going to close Astroland pretty regularly I am not sure to what extent it is closed at this point, but supposedly this was the last day it was open. So finally one year later I had a moment to edit something together from this footage. I used an appropriate song from God speed black emperor. Enjoy

Been raining a lot in denver which is actually great cause we need it. To bad my studio leeks quite a bit. Finished some art this weekend so I can finally get started on my new series. Frieda has been sewing up a storm. Can't wait to show people the cool things she's making but they are surprises for friends so I can't show them yet. I been walking around delerious watching movies and taking pictures of Frieda's feet.

The reason why my images are sometimes pieced together all weird is because my scanner only accepts 35mm negs I got to buy a new scanner that can handle the 120.

Here are some preliminary animations for a multimedia event called Flaunt Evolution.

Rick Griffith and Co at Matter put on a great show at the DAM Friday live printing awesome posters and shirts in conjunction with a 60's fashion show and the psychedelic rock poster show that is currently being exhibited. Nice work. It was fun filming their creative process.
